“I was never on drugs, but everybody thought I was. And I had no use for drugs at all.”“It was good, [the release of the film 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind'], because it sold books and reminded people that I now see myself, first and foremost, as a writer. Promotion, in general, really isn't me anymore.”Chuck Barris is believed to have been born on June 3, 1929, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
